Common Questions and Answers about Valacyclovir for mono
valtrex
I have read that Valtrex and Valacyclovir can be used for the suppression of herpes , does that hold true for Valcivir also,, isn't Valacyclovir the generic of Valciver ,, if yes what is the usual dosage for the suppression of the virus?
1. Tell your partner you are infected, 2. Take daily valacyclovir, 3. Use condoms, and 4. Do not have sex if lesions are present. By following these steps people can go for years without infecting their sex partners.
Hope this helps. Please take a look at the web site, it is very helpful.
I talk valacyclovir for herpes out breaks I have a high dosage one for when I get them it doesn't harm the baby.
Though this is my first pregnancy and I'm 7 weeks.
They told me once I get closer to my due date to take them daily so there is no break out.
t want it there so I started to take Valacyclovir it would keep breaking out every month or so I went on a daily maintenance of 500mg a day. When ever I would miss a pill I start feeling the sensation which I felt when I was going to get an outbreak. I would keep taking it for 5 years. I wanted to stop taking it so I had read some Medical Article's online that Valtrex can rebound.
I agree with you on the protective effects, including that you are currently taking daily valacyclovir, all combine to reduce your risk for transmission of infection. I should also point out that while we DO know that each of these variables acts independently to reduce risk, how they all work together at the same time is not possible to estimate.
I have been experiencing all-over-body nerve tingling for about 10 months now, after a strangely over the top outbreak of cold sores (HSV1) on my chin, nose & upper lip - the nerve tingling happens: scalp, ears, eyelids, nose, temples, armpits, arms, hands, groin, knees, feet, all over the place. Normally, throughout my teenage years, I would just get a single cold sore on one lip, thought nothing of it, but this outbreak had multiple small spots, lasted longer, and they were quite painful.
Thank you for your answers to my earlier questions about how contagious GHSV-1 is. You helped and your responses were comforting. Yet I have some more questions:
(1) It is my understanding that it is hard to shed asymptomatically from my stomach and that is why it is taking longer to heal (will...it's healed...but for the redness to go away). Do you, or anyone else, know how long it normally takes for your stomach to heal completely (as in no signs at all)?
I'm on daily 1 gram valacyclovir for suppressive therapy. I can feel a new outbreak coming. Would it help if a take the valacyclovir twice daily for a couple of days to help with the OB?
how were you originally diagnosed?
what are your symptoms now?
Would acute HIV ever present like this, acute outbreak of symptoms, disappear for a week, then recurr? Could the valacyclovir have masked the effects of acute HIV one I started taking it? should I be looking at bacterial causes?
Please help with opinions. I need to make the right next steps with my health care providers. Everyone wants to tke a wait And see approach but I want to take charge of it.
2 days later, i saw an ulcer and 4 tiny cuts on my lower lips. My doc suspected as HSV 1 or 2 and treated me with Valacyclovir. It was healed within 3-4 days without scar.
30 days later i developed an ulcer in my anorectal area, it was healed within 2 days without treatment.
50 days later, i saw one white spot on my tonsils and red granules on the back of the throat. It is there for 7 months now, it appears like white patches on the back of the throat.
I am currently awaiting test results from my doctor to see if I might have Herpes, but I'm writing this out of despiration. My symptoms are so extreme that I feel as though I cannot wait another day. I typically consider myself to have a pretty high pain tolerance, but the pain I experience when I urinate is completely unbearable and I'm desperate for relief. This is my situation ...
A few weeks ago, I started getting a discharge.
She actually pulled up my ER records and said based on my CBC count I dont have mono. I only tested weakly positive for mono and the fact that my WBC was 38 and the rest of my blood count didnt have a normal number on it wouldnt mean that I have a weak mono infection. Apparently It can just trigger the test. She told me to get to a doctor as soon as possible. Im quite sure I dont have an STD. I had myself tested when my symptoms were present and all the tests came back normal.
Hi community, I've had 4 unprotected heterosexual encounters over the last four months, the most recent being this past weekend.
On Sunday I began feeling swollen lymph nodes in my groin. Monday I began having a fever and diarrhea, along with continued groin lymph swelling, and night sweats began (I've been using acetaminophen ever since to try to regulate my temperature--with some success) ... Tuesday I started to notice my mouth wasn't right. It felt chalky and full.

Would you double the valacyclovir dosage or at least up it? What about for long-term suppressive therapy? If someone could in particular elucidate how valacyclovir works and WHY it would be important/ unimportant to adjust that dosage based on wanting to suppress both conditions, you would have my eternal thanks.
On the 16th I went back to my doctor and he did a blood test to check me for Mono (still waiting for these results,) as well as swabbed the new bump on my pubic region to test for HSV. He said it didn’t look like herpes, but best to check. He also told me to STOP taking augmentin because if it was bacterial larangytis, it would be getting better by now. I’m now on Valacyclovir for the cold sore on my chin.
Today is the 17th and my throat is still awful.
By the way, the currently recommended treatment for recurrent oral herpes is only 2 large doses of valacyclovir (2 grams), 12 hours apart. In fact, you probably could even skip the second dose; just one 2 gram dose probably would do it.
My dr prescribed me with 30 1g of valacyclovir with no instructions on taking them. I took 1g of valacyclovir every day for 30 days. My last day taking valacyclovir was 02-28-18. I took a igG herpeselect blood on 4-3-18 and it was negative. I was told that the antivirals affected my test and i would have to be off of them for 12 weeks. So i tested again for hsv 1 and 2 on 05-24-18 exactly 12 weeks off of antivirals and it was negative.
